Biomechanical Study of the Pullout Resistance in Screws of a Vertebral Fixation System
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of varying the outer diameter of screws of a vertebral fixation system by submitting them to mechanical tests and photoelasticity. The pullout mechanical test was performed in 20 swine lumbar vertebrae, divided into two groups based on the scre...
